New Astros president Reid Ryan said Friday that Ryan-Sanders Baseball hopes to continue its “Big League Weekend” at the Alamodome next year, and that the 2014 game could feature the Rangers and Astros.

The Rangers and Padres, the Missions' parent club, played two games at the Alamodome in late March that drew about 80,000 fans. Ryan-Sanders officials will meet with San Antonio officials in June, and Reid Ryan said he and his father, Rangers CEO Nolan Ryan, hope to continue the game.

“We have a lot of notes from MLB and the Padres and Rangers on what went well and what didn't,” he said. “... Our goal is to turn it into basically a college bowl game. We'd love to have a charity element, maybe a high school and college game before. We have big plans.”
